Save The Little Room, Special Needs Preschool Needs Our Help

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

As many of you know, a group of parents of past and present students have been

involved in a year long project to help save The Little Room, an award winning

special needs preschool in downtown Brooklyn. They are now about to be evicted

by the school that has housed the program for 40 years, Brooklyn Heights

Montessori Scchool, and the program will be lost forever! Please consider

signing the petition in the link below, asking them to give the program a year

to find a new space. Help insure that the children of New York City can continue

to benefit from this amazing program, which has among the most dedicated and

hard working teachers and therapists I have ever met! Please pass this link on

widely and encourage your friends and families, service providers, and others

who care about children with special needs to sign it. Thanks so much, Jacquie

The Little Room is a high quality special needs education program for

pre-schoolers located within the Brooklyn Heights Montessori School (BHMS) in

Brooklyn, NY. Sadly, the program is being closed by BHMS and this blog was

created by a group of concerned parents who wish to inform the public of its

value and insure its ongoing existence. Please consider signing the following

petition asking BHMS to allow The Little Room another year to move to a new

sponsor.
